Explain why hexadecimal is used by computer scientists

1 answer:

3 0

Hexadecimal numerals are widely used by computer system designers and programmers. As each hexadecimal digit represents four binary digits (bits), it allows a more human-friendly representation of binary-coded values. Onehexadecimal digit represents a nibble (4 bits), which is half of an octet or byte (8 bits).

" The main reason why we use hexadecimal numbers is because it is much easier to express binary number representations in hex than it is in any other base number system." - http://digiassn.blogspot.com/2006/02/why-do-we-use-hexadecimal.html

Part of a city map is shown. If m 5 = x, which angles also have a measure of x? Select all that apply.

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

C 9

D 12

Step-by-step explanation:

9 is a corresponding angle to 5 and 12 is an opposite angle to 9

Also by convention, grid lines are at right angles to each other so 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 are all equal at x = 90°

Which of these graphs represents a function

azamat

Answer: C.

Explanation: A function only has one y value for every x value. This means that an x cannot have more than one y value. You can do the vertical line test on graphs to figure out if it is a function or not. In this case, graph C is the only one that passes the vertical line test.

ABCD is a parallelogram angle a is equal to (5x-2) and angle c is equal to 48 find x

bulgar [2K]

For a parallelogram, we know that there are to pairs of angles that are the same and that all 4 angles add to 360.

2(5x-2)+2(48)=360
2(5x-2)+96=360
10x-4+96=360
10x+92=360
10x=268
x=26.8

Final answer: x=26.8

Hope this helps!

Write the equation in siope-intercept form for the line that passes through the given pointand is perpendicular to the given equ

yulyashka [42]

For a line in the form:

$\begin{gathered} ax+by=c \\ The\text{ slope m is:} \\ m=-\frac{a}{b} \end{gathered}$

In this case, for the line 2x + 10y = 20 with a=2 and b=10 the slope is:

$\begin{gathered} m_1=-\frac{a}{b}=-\frac{2}{10} \\ m_1=-\frac{1}{5} \end{gathered}$

Now, two lines are perpendiculars if the slopes satisfy the following equation:

$m_2=-\frac{1}{m_1}$

So, for the line we want the slope is:

$\begin{gathered} m_1=-\frac{1}{5} \\ m_2=-\frac{1}{m_1}=-\frac{1}{(-\frac{1}{5})}=5 \end{gathered}$

Finally, the line pass througth the point (2, 3) with slope m=5, so the equation is:

$\begin{gathered} P_1=(2,3),m=5 \\ y=mx+b \\ \text{The P1 must satisfy the equation:} \\ 3=5\cdot2+b \\ b=3-10 \\ b=-7 \end{gathered}$

The equation of the line is y = 5x - 7
